    Abstract: Introduction: The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) as a surrogate of exercise capacity is often shown to be the best predictor of mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Recent studies have described that mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) - cardiac output (CO) relationships have a potential to assess the detail of pulmonary circulation. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that pressure-flow relationships of the pulmonary circulation (mPAP/CO) would be associated with 6MWD in connective tissue disease (CTD). Methods: We prospectively performed 6-minute walk test and echocardiographic studies in 202 CTD patients (56±14 years; 11% male) with measurements of cardiac output using electric cardiometry. We have calculated the pulmonary artery pressure-cardiac output relationships as mPAP divided by CO (mPAP/CO). Results: Firstly, we have checked the accuracy of CO by electric cardiometry. In our cohort with invasive data, there is a good correlation between right heart catheter and electric cardiometry values of cardiac output (r=0.85; p 〈 0.001) with electric cardiometry measurements slightly underestimating cardiac output (bias -14% of the mean). Correlates of 6MWD were age (partial R= -0.19, p=0.009), early-diastolic mitral annular motion velocity (e’, partial R= 0.20, p=0.005), E/e’ (partial r= -0.16, p=0.028) and CO (partial r= 0.21, p=0.019) in the univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, the mPAP/CO was strongly associated with 6MWD (t= -2.06, p= 0.042). Male gender and early-diastolic tricuspid annular motion velocity were also associated with 6MWD (t= 2.09, p=0.038 and t =2.92, p =0.004, respectively). Conclusions: Elevated mPAP/CO was associated with reduced 6MWD independent from LV and RV diastolic function. These results may recommend that we would assess not only the pressure but also the pressure-flow relationships of the pulmonary circulation in high risk group of PH.

    Abstract: Introduction: Cardiac involvement in Systemic sclerosis (SSc), especially left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD), is high prevalence and associated with high mortality. Thus, the early detection of left ventricular DD might be important to manage SSc. Recent study has shown that exercise stress test may evaluate an early stage of heart failure in patients with normal resting echocardiogram. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that SSc patients with normal resting hemodynamics may present early phase of left ventricular DD by exercise echocardiogram, leading to the model of predicting long-term outcomes. Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2018, we prospectively enrolled 140 SSc patients who underwent 6-minute walk (6MW) stress echocardiographic studies with normal range of estimated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ( 〈 25mmHg) and mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (mPAWP) ( 〈 15mmHg) at rest. We used ΔmPAP/Δcardiac output (CO) to assess pulmonary vascular reserve and ΔmPAWP/ΔCO to assess left ventricular (LV) reserve between resting and post-6MW point. Results: During a median period of 3.6 years, 25 patients (18%) reached the composite outcome. Both ΔmPAP/ΔCO and ΔmPAWP/ΔCO in patients with events were significantly higher than in ones without events (8.9±3.8mmHg/l/min vs. 3.0±1.7mmHg/l/min; p=0.002, and 2.2±0.9mmHg/l/min vs. 0.9±0.5mmHg/l/min; p 〈 0.001, respectively). In addition, ΔmPAWP/ΔCO is strongly associated with events (p=0.04) in patients with normal ΔmPAP/ΔCO (≤median value), although ΔmPAWP/ΔCO had weak impact in patients with abnormal ΔmPAP/ΔCO ( 〉 median value) (p=0.23). Conclusions: Exercise echocardiography revealed impaired LV functional reserve in SSc patients with normal resting hemodynamics. Furthermore, in the group of normal pulmonary vascular function, the patients with impaired LV functional reserve had significantly shorter event-free survival than the ones with non-impaired LV function. Thus, the evaluation of early left ventricular DD with 6MW may detect high-risk group in SSc patients.

    Abstract: The projected aortic valve area (AVA proj ) at a normal transvalvular flow rate using dobutamine is helpful to determine the actual severity of aortic stenosis (AS) and to predict risk of adverse events in low-gradient AS cases with unclear surgical indication. Our study aimed to identify the independent and incremental value of preload stress echocardiography-derived AVA proj to predict outcomes in patients with preserved ejection fraction and low-gradient AS. Methods and Results— We prospectively performed echocardiographic studies in 79 patients with low-gradient AS (age, 77±7 years; 30% men) with preload stress echocardiography using leg positive pressure. AVA proj was calculated using AVA and transvalvular flow rate at baseline and during leg positive pressure. The primary end point was the decision for aortic valve surgery or cardiac death. During a median period of 19 months, 23 patients had the decision for aortic valve surgery, and none died during follow-up. In a stepwise multivariable analysis, indexed AVA proj (AVAi proj ; hazard ratio, 2.00 per 0.1 cm 2 /m 2 decrease; 95% confidence interval, 1.36–2.96; P 〈 0.001) was associated with the primary end point. Using a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the best cutoff value of AVAi proj for predicting cardiac events was 〈 0.72 cm 2 /m 2 . By incorporating AVAi proj into AVAi at baseline, continuous net reclassification index for cardiac events was 0.48 ( P =0.04). Conclusions— In patients with low-gradient AS, indexed AVA proj derived from preload stress echocardiography can be useful to predict risk of adverse events. The present article should be considered as a proof of concept study, and we think that larger multicenter studies are warranted.
